The African Arts Trust is a funding body established to support the careers of emerging artists working on the African continent. Founded by Robert Devereux this Arts Charity provides support for African artists, through Arts bursaries and arts grants, to encourage a sustainable African Arts market.

The trust is based on years of frequent travel to Africa and the recognition that there is a wealth of artistic talent there, which is stifled by the lack of resources available locally to full time artists.The International Gallery Of The Arts (IGOA) is proud to announce that a portion of the entry fees received for the Top 100 Open Art Contest was donated to helping the above cause.
